Once more, I warn you against them.

But enough; follow me now to the house, and as you tell me you have exchanged clothes before now, you can do it again.

What say you?
I will give you coat and breeches for your rags." Thus generously supplied with clothes and other comforts by the good knight, and implicitly relying upon the honor of so kind-hearted a man, Israel cheered up, and in the course of two or three weeks had so fattened his flanks, that he was able completely to fill Sir John's old buckskin breeches, which at first had hung but loosely about him.
He was assigned to an occupation which removed him from the other workmen.

The strawberry bed was put under his sole charge.

And often, of mild, sunny afternoons, the knight, genial and gentle with dinner, would stroll bare-headed to the pleasant strawberry bed, and have nice little confidential chats with Israel; while Israel, charmed by the patriarchal demeanor of this true Abrahamic gentleman, with a smile on his lip, and tears of gratitude in his eyes, offered him, from time to time, the plumpest berries of the bed.
When the strawberry season was over, other parts of the grounds were assigned him.
